Fire Alarm.
About ! P. NJ. yesterday officer Frazee
noticed great volume of smoke pouring
out of window in the upper part of J. A.
Cunningham boiler shop on l street, near
Front, and, as the doors were closed, sur
missed that the building was on fire. Hur-
rying 10 the Water works, he had an alarm
given by the whistle, and a man was sent
to the station-house for an ak with which
to burst in the boiler-shop doors. 1t wasn't
needed, however. Some one found that
the doors were not fastened, and when they
were opened the fact was revealed that Mr..
Cunningham and an assistant were inside,
and had been getting up steam in a small
boiler with furnace attached-which he
has been constructing for the Woodland
Hdl-in order to test it. The smoke as
cended from the smokestack to the rsfters,
and then made its way out through the
window. The Fire Department and a large
number of citizens were soon present in
response to the alarm, and the Mails new
boiler received an unexpected inspection.

having learned that tan game was run

was ready for raid officers would be sent
to help him, but he undertook the JOB
